Would you know what to do if your baby or young child was choking?

According to St John Ambulance, 40% of parents have witnessed their own baby choke and only one in five knew exactly what to do. The 'The Chokeables' video from St John Ambulance is a heart-warming video featuring animated household items such as a pen lid, marble, princess and jelly baby, that can all-too-easily become choking hazards. Please watch this video demonstrating the correct technique to save a choking baby - it might save a little life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtbUB1XPW_o More on first aid from stjohn.ie Join the conversation on Twitter @HerFamilydotie
